I have had the privilege to experience Verisign's, Nokia's, and Checkpoint's
support. There really is no comparison. Checkpoint support is nearly
non-existent. They do not call back within the contract specified time,
they give you almost no real help when they do. I would stick with your
reseller's support. I have had excellent experiences with both Nokia and
Verisign(No I do not work for either).
